A PRACTICAL GUIDE AND HANDBOOK

TONY DRAKE, instigator of the Cambrian Way, brings forty years experience as a footpath conservationalist to the planning of a route for the discerning mountain walker.

The route has been well researched to follow where there is a right to go or where there are well established or permissive routes over mountain and moorland.

Following the first proposals for Cambrian Way in 1968, the Counryside Commission showed great interest but bowed to opposition in 1982 and abandoned the project. It is still however the Ramblers Association's favoured future national trail for Wales and is recommended as a fine three week walk through scenically superb and largely unfrequented mountain country.

The unofficial route in this book requires navigational skills and much stamina to achieve it's 274 miles and 61,540 feet of ascent. There is however no need to worry about problems of peat bogs, interminable stiles, firing ranges, deer stalking and grouse shooting that beset some other trails and mountain areas.
